Real-time Preview Stops Working

Hi,

Dreamweaver 19.0 is live. It can be downloaded from creative cloud Desktop application.

Please refer to release notes:

Release notes for the 2019 of Dreamweaver CC

Thanks

Cleary what's happening is when the computer goes to sleep, it looses its connection with the Adobe server.  When the computer awakes upon mouse movement, a new connection to the server is needed.  The only workaround is to restart DW since it's looking for a specific address that has been cancelled upon sleep.

Another issue with Live browser preview, is when images are updated on a web file.  Since browsers cache images for future quick load, you need to clear the browser's cache to see the image update.  Once again, when you clear the cache, you loose your connection to Adobe's server because it dumps the temporary address.

Regardless, I'm reverting back to the old way of previewing my work-in-progress.  I find it troubling that Adobe routes my files to their server first, so I can see them locally on my browser - very odd.

You wrote "struggling to reproduce" yet there are hundreds of posts online that are having the same issue.

I understand Adobe wants to promote using the split screen option of Live/Code, but unless you're working on a 60 inch monitor, it's just too confining for most of us ...you really need to see how the design works in a browser at full screen.

Thank you.

Yes, previewing the old way by right clicking the file name in the Files window works - thanks.

My new question is why are my local files, unbeknownst to me until now,  running through Adobe's server for Live preview?  Kind of invasive, yes?  What's the purpose of this?
